One of the Caribbean’s most secluded swimmable beaches, our Secret Beach evokes the feeling of being blissfully marooned on a remote island paradise. Its soft white sand and shallow turquoise waters, hugged in an intimate cove, are only accessible by sea. Revel in the romance of its private setting, adventure to its hidden sea cave or explore the vibrant marine life just beyond the shore with our complimentary snorkel gear. Access Secret Beach via a quick kayak, paddle or swim from Tibay Beach, or arrange for one of our private skiffs to take you to its shores.

The beauty of the rainforest meets the serenity of the sand and sea at Secret Bay’s Tibay Beach, a prized stretch of swimmable beach only accessible by Secret Bay or by water. Here, lounge shaded beneath almond trees alongside the quiet gentle waves of the Caribbean Sea. This slice of paradise also beckons our guests for a quiet morning dip, a romantic stroll along its shores or a sunset swim or paddle. Tibay Beach is also the launch point for kayaks and paddle boards, delivered upon request, and the convenient pick up point for adventures accessed by sea, including our Waitukubuli by Sea Tour and Indian River Tour.

Refresh and rejuvenate with a yoga or meditation class at Secret Bay’s brand new Bwa Mang Wellness Pavilion. Whether you want an intimate session with a loved one or alongside other guests in a small group, the Bwa Mang Wellness Pavilion provides the perfect setting to realize your greatest wellness ambitions while suspended over the magical Cario River with Tibay Beach just beyond.

Explore the rich marine life and wide variety of coral that live in the waters just beyond Secret Bay. The water is clear, warm and an exceptional teal-blue colour. We have complimentary swimming and snorkeling gear for your ongoing use throughout your stay.

When we first opened Zing Zing, its canopy-style roof above Tibay Beach quickly became one of the most talked-about dining settings in the Caribbean. The open-air space, the display kitchen, the no-menu concept. It was different from anything else on the island and possibly across the Caribbean, and guests responded. Zing Zing became synonymous with Secret Bay itself.

Then came Bwa Denn. When we introduced our new cultural and culinary space, we wanted to give it our full attention. Bwa Denn brought a lot that was new to Secret Bay: two distinct dining experiences in Kitchen and Terrazza, a full-service bar, a microbrewery crafting kombucha with local fruits and herbs, a cutting-edge wine cellar, an art gallery housing 100+ Caribbean and Latin American works, a boardroom, and a shoppe featuring local crafts and resortwear. It was a significant expansion of what Secret Bay offered, and we decided to pause Zing Zing so our team could focus on bringing it all to life in our best way.

Now, with Bwa Denn well established and our villa collection grown to 27, we are excited to welcome Zing Zing back. And it is better than before.

Massage is a necessity that feels like a luxury. Secret Bay’s massage therapy at the Gommier Spa is perfect for relaxing tense muscles after hiking, calming stressed minds after travel or simply indulging in much-deserved self care. During your blissful session you will be soothed by the natural soundtrack of ocean waves and song birds while your spa therapist uses locally blended oils to recharge your body. You can choose to have your massage while your loved one is relaxing elsewhere or enjoy the unifying experience of a couples massage where two therapists will work simultaneously to treat you.

Secret Bay has worked hard to preserve and re-establish the wildlife that thrives here. It is not just about creating a place to stay, but also capturing Dominica in a time when her land and wildlife were valued not just for what they could provide, but as cohabitants in a precious ecosystem.

If you would like to learn more about the species present on Dominica, please reference The Flora, Fauna & Marine Life of Secret Bay, Secret Bay’s self-published book about the wildlife that can be found on our grounds and within surrounding areas.

Dive into a once in a lifetime experience where you have the rare opportunity to swim with sperm whales in the open waters of Dominica. You and a companion can immerse yourselves in the beauty of the deep blue for an awe-inspiring, in-water encounter with these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Private experience available with advance inquiry only.
